Frank Paco Art Ensemble is a musical collaboration that best depicts our continent's rich cultural diversity. The band members were selected based on their wealth of skills on their particular instruments and as educators, from which they communicate their thoughts and feelings, with strong influences derived from their roots, sharing these in the musical language with fellow musicians and the audiences at large. The aim of this project is to instil a sense of pride in our ancestral heritage, promoting unity in our diverse cultural societies and to bring about awareness of the fact that there is a common thread that links us all, even though we speak different languages, have different cultural practices, but through music we are one. The musical concept is an amalgamation of Western, Eastern and Southern African pulsating rhythms, spiced with harmonic, melodic Jazz nuances. There could never have been a precise way to display this ideal, but to have hand picked musicians form regions such as Congo, Mozambique, South Africa and Madagascar to better express their true cultural identity. This is World - Jazz at it's best
